Submit Your Data

Revised Submit Your Data

Lastly you need to submit your data to the AAVSO database. To do this, select the “Data” tab at the top of this page and choose the “Submit” and “Non-Visual” buttons. A form will appear allowing you to request your official AAVSO Observer Initials (an unique code that identifies data as yours - it will stay with you forever). These initials are a required part of your submission. Once you have your observer initials, proceed to the data form. Fill in this form and submit your observation.

Congratulations! At this point you're ready to go out and take some images with your own camera and perform the analysis on your own data. If you need help, feel free to ask questions in the Photometry Forums.

Note: Please don't submit values obtained from the sample data as tom Pearson has already submitted these values to the database already.
